Folklore is a stunningly beautiful game with more than enough substance to forgive it's minor sins.

Initial reviews of this game were middling while later reviews steadily grew in appreciation. This may point up an issue with mechanics of reviews in general: people that speed through games often just don't get the be... Read Full Review

High Velocity Bowling

Does what it sets out to do well and introduces an interesting new control scheme. Well worth a look.

This downloadable ($10) game implements SIXAXIS motion controls to simulate the motions of real bowling. Although this game will suffer many (and many ignorant) comparison to Wii Sports Bowling the games are really in t... Read Full Review

Jak 3

Easier than the second game and a perfect culmination of this excellent story.

Well - I finished the story at least. I've still got about 200 Precursor Orbs to find. This was such a good experience overall... Sony really does have the action platformer genre locked up. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet ... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Pick any one thing about this game and it sucks. But the game as a whole is a masterpiece. Wierd, uh?

Well - I finished the story missions. I could still do a lot, but I probably won't - I've already spent over 100 hours on the game. I finished the story, got most of the export cars, got mostly gold in most of the sc... Read Full Review

God of War (Greatest Hits)

If you have the stomach and the skills this is one game not to be missed.

To start with let's be abundantly clear: "God of War" is a stunning achievement nearly any way you consider it. For those of you that for some reason still have an urge to "show what a PS2 can do" this is the game to do... Read Full Review

Rag Doll Kung Fu

Fun, innovative, attractive and inexpensive... but also painful, tedious and often annoying.

In many ways the game really is an achievement. A single programmer (and I presume some friends) did it and also produced downright hilarious 70's Kung Fu movie parodies for the cut-scenes. The game looks and sounds ... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Good, but not due to the dark feel, abundance of backtracking and overpowered enemies. Where did the real Prince go?

First things first: I didn't like this game nearly as much as the first. The first ("Price of Persia: The Sands of Time") was fairly light hearted and had a much, much stronger narrative. This one wasn't bad: it was ju... Read Full Review

LEGO Star Wars

Perhaps the best parent-child gaming experiences ever.

This is, surprisingly, one HECK of a great little game! It's easy enough for kids but never dull and so remarkably well put together any adult will have just as much fun with it. Essentially the game features severa... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed

A stunningly beautiful game containing an unfortunately repetative and ultimately rather dull story.

Finally finished this game (which I started long ago) off. Like the UBISoft classic "The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" this game works hard to provide compelling narrative explanations for game mechanics. In t... Read Full Review
